An amazing and captivating story. An absolutely beautiful and magical work of story telling. The story takes place in a small English village located near the Thames River. A young girl, who they believe is dead, is pulled out of the river. They carry her body to the local inn, when she suddenly revives. The girl is not able to speak so the villagers don't know who she is. Who is she? Several of the people in town are convinced she is their family/relative as each of them has lost a family member who mysteriously disappeared. You soon find that each character in the book is connected somehow.
We soon learn that other character in the book have also lost a child. By the end of the book, the reader comes to learn the real circumstances behind each child’s disappearance and how they are all linked together. I fell in love with the writing and the characters and was quite sad when the book ended as I wanted the story to continue.
